Application filed November 19,1906.

T0 (LZZ w/tmn it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, FRANK SCULEGIIT, a

Specification of Letters Patent.

citizen of the United States, residing at Fremont, in the county oi"Sandusky and State of Ohio, have invented. certain new and usefulImprovements in Necktie-Holders; and I do declare the following to be aiull, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to iinprovemeins in necktie-holders.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this characteradapted to be applied tie in place over the collar-button.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists ofcertain novel teatures of construction, combination, and arrangeinent ofparts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of a collar andcollar-button, showing the application of the invention thereto. Fig. 2is a vertical sectional view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detailperspective view of the holder removed from the collar.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes the holder, whichis preterably formed from a single piece of sheet metal cut to form acentral collar-button-engaging notch or recess 2 and front and rear Thebars 4 collar-engaging bars 3 and i. are disposed adjacent to and oneach side of the collar-button-engaging recess 2 and inside of the frontcollar-engaging bars Said rear collar-engaging bars 4 are bent or otlsetat their upper ends, so that they will be spaced or set back 'from thetrout collarengaging bars to the distance of the thickness of thecollar. The bars a are adapted to be inserted through the buttonholc ofthe front or outer end of the collar and to engage the rear side of saidouterend adjacent to each side of the collar-button shank. The front orouter collar-engaging bars 3 are adapted to engage the outer side of theend of the collar and to lie adjacent to and on each side of the head ofthe button.

The upper portion of the holder is cut or tapered to a sharp point 5,said tapered end Eatented Feb. 5, 1907.

being bent downwardly to form a buttonhead-engaging portion 6 and thenceupwardly to form a hook 7 from the sharp pointed tapered end of theholder. hen the holder has been thus arranged in position on the collarand the necktie applied thereto, the pointed hook 7 is caught into orengaged with the rear side of the bow or knot of the tie, thussupporting or holding the same in position and preventing any sagging ofthe tie and the consequent exposure of the collar button and untidyappearance of the necktie.

A necktie-holder constructed as herein shown and described will besimple and inexto the buttonhole of a collar to support the pensive inconstruction, reliable and eflicient in operation, and readily appliedto and removed treat the front ol the collar.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation 01 the inventionwill be readily understood without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined by theappended claints.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Lettcrs Patent, is-

1. A necktie-holder having front and rear collar-engaging bars l'ornedon its lower end and an upwardly-projccting necktie-supporting hookt'orned on its upper end, substantially as described.
